The Second World Kyudo Taikai (Paris) / Official Results
The Second World Kyudo Taikai was held in Paris on July 19th and 20th 2014. This is the first time a Taikai of this scale and importance has been held outside Japan. The best archers from 21 countries gathered at the Sports Center, located within the University of Paris, to compete in the individual and team tournament. Japan, who had not reached the finals in the First World Kyudo Taikai held in 2010 in Tokyo, more than made up for this with clear victories in both the individual and team contests.
The French Team once more achieved the distinction of reaching the Final of the Taikai.
